All Media Photo Challengehttp://www.artistdaily.com/forums/247.aspxWelcome to the All Media Photo Challenge!
The goals of this forum are to have fun, keep ourselves painting and meeting artistic challenges on a regular basis, and come together and encourage each other to do the same!
The All Media Photo Challenge is open to everyone—in any medium or style, with no regard to experience level or newness to painting or drawing. In fact, if you've never painted before, this is the perfect place for you to pick up a pencil or brush, and give it a try! If you are an experienced painter or draftsman, please join in and help us learn from your experience.
The structure of the photo challenge forum is simple. Every two to three weeks, a new photo challenge will be posted—if you have ideas, shout them out—with a target completion date. That target date is just a suggestion. If you miss a target date, that's always OK--post your work whenever it is ready. This is a light and stress-free way to learn and grow in our art.

<p>Geri thanks I appreciate you letting me know your observation. &nbsp;I will take a closer look at it. &nbsp;I&#39;m not sure if it is exaggerated by the camera. &nbsp;In the reference it is brighter. &nbsp;I may have to grey the roof some. &nbsp; Thanks again for bringing it to my attention I really appreciate it.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: ALL MEDIA CHALLENGE 42 - APRIL, 2014http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/259428.aspxMon, 12 May 2014 22:53:18 GMT2bfc0e10-a4d2-4b68-ab7f-f11d606ed6fe:259428Berkenstock0http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/259428.aspxhttp://www.artistdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=247&PostID=259428<p>Karan very well done.&nbsp; The only minor detail that I see is the buildings in the main string of buildings .&nbsp; T end one on the left seems a little bright and draws my eye away from the main part of the building.&nbsp; Like I said this is minor and maybe I should not have mentioned it.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: ALL MEDIA CHALLENGE 42 - APRIL, 2014http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/259379.aspxMon, 12 May 2014 16:20:12 GMT2bfc0e10-a4d2-4b68-ab7f-f11d606ed6fe:259379Turps2450http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/259379.aspxhttp://www.artistdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=247&PostID=259379<p><b>Karen, </b>&nbsp;my you did a great job on this!

Your kind words were very encouraging and appreciated. Sarah, this size was intimidating for me but I thought it wouldn&#39;t make sense to do a piece with movement if there literally wasn&#39;t much space to move. Now I&#39;ll crawl back to my small space.</p>
<p><strong>KAREN,</strong> I&#39;m thrilled for you. Wow, the juried exhibit so soon and solo exhibits...it&#39;s very exciting but based on&nbsp;your&nbsp;works that you&#39;ve shared, inc this WIP posted here, you&#39;ll do just fine. Wish we could be there, but pls. keep us posted. :)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: ALL MEDIA CHALLENGE 42 - APRIL, 2014http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/258428.aspxMon, 05 May 2014 06:02:27 GMT2bfc0e10-a4d2-4b68-ab7f-f11d606ed6fe:258428karend840http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/258428.aspxhttp://www.artistdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=247&PostID=258428<p>Jen, Bonnie and Geri thank you so much for the comments and well wishes. &nbsp;</p>

I especially like the colorus and the movement of the painting.&nbsp;You have certainly succeeded in&nbsp;the loose approach&nbsp;in this one. Very nice work. </p>
<p>Karen, congratulations on your exhibitions. You are going to be very busy but it must be so exciting. This piece certainly reflects your&nbsp;talent as an artist. It has a nice&nbsp;softness in the light and I think must be a morning light. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: ALL MEDIA CHALLENGE 42 - APRIL, 2014http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/258315.aspxSun, 04 May 2014 01:13:00 GMT2bfc0e10-a4d2-4b68-ab7f-f11d606ed6fe:258315Turps2450http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/258315.aspxhttp://www.artistdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=247&PostID=258315<p><strong>Karen,</strong> Congratulations and well deserved too!
